in thread Dynaloader library path

In Apache, you can use the PassEnv directive to pass along particular environment variables to the httpd server, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_env.html#passenv

This ought to let your CGI scripts see the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable. The vairable has to be set in the shell starting the httpd process, so make sure your shell script that starts Apache has the variable set/exported, if it isn't already so.

    Well, if I had access to the script that starts Apache (aka root), I'd have just installed the files in the global lib area, and been done with it :)

    Problem is, I don't have root on the machine, it's a hosted account. So I'm looking for a way to get the Path set and exported so the Dynaloader can see it. I was wondering if Apache looks at .profile, .bashrc, before running a CGI that might help me.

      You can also use the SetEnv directive. You can place this in a .htaccess file in the directory where your script resides.
